I get good, reliable burn results from "CMC MAGE01" discs, at all rated speeds (Max=8x), with one exception. Once burned on my Lite-on SOHW-1633S, they become completely unreadable by that drive. The SOHW-1633S no longer detects a disk in the drawer, period. However, they are easily readable by the DVD+/-RW drives on my other 3 computers (all Lite-on brand but newer models) and my cheapie Samsung DVD-P191 DVD Player. KProbe2 gives pretty good PO/PIF scans for the resulting burns.

Another consideration is that I have "CMC MAGE01" DVD+R 8X discs that are Memorex-branded, which also give me excellent burns using the same "1633S" and are completely readable by that same drive. But the Memorex DVD+R discs are completely "silver" on the top surface (silver matte with shiny silver embossing of surface text). So. I don't know if my problem with the HP Invent-branded discs are dye-related or related to the top surface "branding/artwork". All I know is that every one of the HP Invent discs results in a DVD that is undetected/unreadable by the Lite-on SOHW 1033S but seems to work on any newer DVD burner and DVD Player.

I burned some DVDs 6 months ago at 8x, and the data is still intact. Good media, works well with both H10A and H10A@H10N (crossflashed H10A)

Tried firmwares A303 and A306, put drive on two completely different computers, all possible burning speeds (8x and below). The error is always at the end of the disc, on multisession and non multisession burning. However the Green HP DVD-RW (Media Code PHILIPS/041) works great. Just avoid these orange ones.

This media has worked well for me at 8x. no coasters,
and i would get it again. I wanted DVD-R, as i noticed that DVD+R did have as good ratings, but the store did not have DVD-R. These DVD+R have worked fine.

Brought at Staples during sale for $19.99. In addition to being a very reliable media, the writing surface is isopropyl alcohol resistant. This makes it idea for use with DVD markers.

This media seems to work rather well with my Benq 1620a drive. From the other reviews it looks like this media works best with newer drives(those made after mid-2004.
caught these on sale at staples $10 for a 25 pack.

8x reliability is poor; about half of the burns had verify errors. 4x burns somewhat more reliable, but 20% still have verify errors. This is by far the worst media I've ever used, much worse than "no name" brands.

Works very well for me so far. Only burned a few discs, but no coasters yet. Shouldn't think there will be any. I've only tried DVD+Rs from this spindle on my single DVD player as of yet.

Using Sony DRU510A, first disk stopped with media error. However, the following two seemed to burn fine at 4X which is the top speed for the burner.

Media hardly never works at 8x... only usable at 4x. My plextor drive is sometimes able to write at 8x on 4x DVD+R but with this media it's the other way around! Plus I had some Quality/Decoding problems at the end of some movies.

Media burns great at 8x, haven't tried 4x or 2x but who neeeds it when you got 8x. Video quality still is great at 8x nothing lost durning burning, no motion blurness most important of all no coasters.
